Nope, it gets awfuller, cringier, and less watchable. They seem to be doubling down on painful and awkward, both not good qualities in anything, and especially not in a comedy. Subtrack a star with every passing episode.
Some of the secondary roles are well done, mostly those of her Machiavellian coworkers, namely Darcy, the PA to the boss (who is also great), and Beth Ann, the antagonist to the new girl. This could be watching if they'd get rid of the lead character, or make her less cringy and awkward.
As far as the "humor" goes, it's just awkward situations with one falling down gag that we saw WAY before it happened. Was that intended to make it funnier? It didn't. It was an I Love Lucy gag and I Love Lucy wasn't funny sixty years ago. About the only part I found clever is how they gauge sales on the graph which translates into how much the audience likes the on-air sales rep. This allowed us to actually see that she was finally breaking through.
I like the actress, although she looks like a set of novelty shop fake teeth next to a department store mannequin.
She fakes that she has cancer to win over viewers, but she should just stick with "Idiot" as her handicap. She has no funny lines and relies completely on acting like a complete idiot for humor, if you can call it that, and I don't. The stage direction must have been something like, "I need you to act so incredibly awkward and stupid that it will make viewers embarrassed to be watching. Can you do that?"
